17 Personalised Gifts To Make You Look Thoughtful

09.11.2017 / Festive

I created The Little Plum in 2013 as the digital ‘blogosphere’ was beginning to explode. Fast-forward to 2021, and I’m a 27 year old marketer, writer and content-creator, sharing reflections on love and life in our 20s. I help brands communicate their stories through beautiful visuals & creative concepts, but my passion has always remained deeply rooted in the written word. Why not have a poke around? Every article has been carefully put together and I’m sure you’ll find something that tickles your delight.

ad I love it when things come full circle 🟢 I first started using @davines_uk 6 or so years ago when I first went to my chosen salon (once you find a good spot, you never cheat, right?), and now I get to tell you about their partnership with the non-profit @plasticbank to prevent 100 tonnes of plastic from entering the ocean. The collected plastic is repurposed into products and packaging to continue its lifecycle in the manufacturing supply chain, and the collectors in coastal communities collect a premium to exchange for life insurance, school tuition, groceries etc. Davines share a lot of information about their sustainability practises and goals on their website so I’d recommend giving that a read (not always common - lots of companies keep their sustainability cards close to their chest), and other than that, I’d recommend MINU & NOUNOU as my favorites, and everything smells AMAZING. #RethinkingPlastic #IChooseDavines

Bringing out an old classic today with this coat which is ~ probably ~ my oldest item at around 6 years old. Swipe to see some questionable editing from 2015/2016 🌝📷 & let me know what you’re oldest item is! Initially I thought ‘shit, 6 years really isn’t that long at all’, but I have to remind myself that I was 21 6 years ago so the chances of me having clothes that are 15 years old is pretty unlikely. 😅

Sundays are liquid, poured out in gravy boats and the lapping of boots on beaches. Like a fluid chameleon they softly spill into whatever shape they’re to be held in, all quiet, comfy mass. Sipping and slurping, dipping and dunking - Sunday needs a hunk of crusty bread to mop up the juicy edges. What a pleasure is the day of simply just being!

@pantee (*gifted*) make their super-soft underwear

@pantee (*gifted*) make their super-soft underwear from reworked deadstock fabrics and I am a FAN (deadstock means fabric leftover from production, likely ordered as surplus to demand which often ends up in landfill). Any bras I wear I prefer to have a thicker band because I find that way more comfortable, and although on the boob scale I’m on the smaller end, the gals feel well supported. Because I’m short the high leg thong comes slightly ~ too ~ high in the front, so if you’re petite like moi, you might want to opt for the briefs instead. But for feel-good, ethically-made, planet-friendly undies, you can’t really go wrong.

I’m wearing The Crop Bra and High Leg Thong both in a small. Sizes originally started at S/M/L but have expanded to XS - XL with more on the way.

Picture the scene: you’re a milkmaid circa whatever year milkmaids wore milkmaid dresses, and you’re waiting for the hottie from the neighbouring village to pick you up (against your parents wishes, of course). What do you wear? It has to be this.

I’m having a bit of a dress moment right now but my sartorial sweet spot is minimal “femininity” meets subtle edge, and this rental from @onloan (*gifted*) strikes the chord perfectly. Like I was frolicking through wildflower meadows 5 minutes ago and now I’m riding the hottie’s motorcycle off the farm. Do the timelines of this hypothetical scenario make sense? Nope, but the dress and the boots do.
